It can be done but looks like a tedious and annoying job. Why not pick another cb?

you might be able to "Buff" it off with a Dremel tool and a felt wheel, but im not sure what they would look like under the gold. be carful of painting directly to the gold, the gold coating will start to chip off in a couple of years but paint will chip off the gold much sooner. I have never seen good quality gold paint that would hold up to an application like a knob.
